About the role
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Lead Data Analyst, Growth & Experimentation based in Brazil.
Join a data-driven team at a growing digital marketplace, where experimentation and analytical rigor play a central role in business growth. As the first analyst fully dedicated to Growth and Experimentation, you will lead the analytical strategy behind testing initiatives across acquisition and conversion channels. You will design robust experiments, establish statistical standards, and turn complex findings into actionable recommendations that improve business performance. Working closely with Growth leadership, product managers, and marketing teams, you will help optimize the full acquisition-to-conversion funnel across paid, organic, and partner channels. You will also expand existing analytics automation and AI-powered tools to make experimentation more scalable and accessible. This is a highly autonomous individual-contributor role with meaningful influence on strategic decisions and measurable growth outcomes.

Ability to identify tracking and data-quality issues and ensure experiments produce reliable, actionable results.
-
Daily use of AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or similar solutions to accelerate SQL development, dbt workflows, statistical analysis, and experimentation processes.
